Here is where I was born with the name Mercy Somewhere out in between, on the open sea Mercy
Mama travelled so far over every tide And for nearly nine months I was safe inside Oh I, I was safe inside
But she couldn’t ignore what she had to do Ran away from the war, nothing left to lose Oh no, nothing but our lives
Here is where I was born with the name Mercy Someone held out a hand, giving life to me For all the children lost to the cold, cold sea I’ll live ten thousand years, je m’appelle Mercy
I had to take a breath, she had to be free To start again with nothing left, start a life with me Mercy
But surrounded by blue, nothing else in sight If the water won we would pay the price Oh we, we’d pay it with our lives Rising over a wave came another boat A chance at survival, a sign of hope Oh my, they sang when they heard me cry
Here is where I was born with the name Mercy Someone held out a hand, giving life to me For all the children lost to the cold, cold sea I’ll live ten thousand years, je m’appelle Mercy
Does it mean we’re safe and sound, when we’re on solid ground? When tomorrow comes, will we all face it together? When tomorrow comes
Here is where I was born with the name Mercy
Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci Mercy, Mercy, I made it, Mercy Mercy, Mercy, je vais bien merci
